Store basic info about a sky culture for Stellarium.
Different human cultures have used different names for stars, and visualised different constellations in the sky (and in different parts of the sky). This information will probably evolve considerably over the 0.19 and 0.20 series.

Possible values for boundary lines between constellations.
Most traditional skies do not have boundaries. Some atlases in the 18th and 19th centuries had curved boundaries that differed between authors. Only IAU implemented "approved" boundaries, but a similar technique could be used for other skycultures.
Since V0.19.
A rough classification scheme that may allow filtering and at least some rough idea of quality control. In future versions, this scheme could be refined or changed, and external reviewers can probably provide more quality control. For now, we can at least highlight and discern "nice tries" from scientific work. The classes are not "quality grades" in ascending order, but also allow estimates about particular content. INCOMPLETE requires improvements, and PERSONAL usually means "nice, but not even Stellarium developers believe in it".
